In the Hull and East Yorks area - Cracked Manifold unfortunately so looking at getting both done whilst having the work done on it.

I use JAS Land Rover Specialist in Pocklington in York. They are very good. They do all the servicing on my car and they can update the electronic service history on the LR website too. Probably not too far from you.

Their prices are good too. When my car needed the 7 year service with all the belts etc I got 3 quotes , 1 from main dealer, 1 from Green Oval and JAS. JAS were cheapest and I’m glad I chose them. Green Oval were more expensive than the main dealer and when I told them this they didn’t seem to care. The only thing with JAS they are always busy so you need to book services well in advance

Thanks mate - well I have warranty until June although I thought I did but they’ve emailed back to say the manifold is not covered under the 4 star agreement , but it states exhaust inlet and exhaust valves under engine , please see attached . Are they trying to have my pants down here.

I too have a warranty but an aftermarket one with warranty direct and they don’t cover the manifold either. I have had quite a few warranty claims and all have been successful. JAS did all the calling to them to get them approved. Another reason why I use them. Who is your warranty with?

I’ve got extended warranty with the dealership where I purchased the car - Eclipse Car Sales in Winchester they have a warranty program which is underwritten by another company.
They’ve been good in the past with other issues I’ve had , since there based in Winchester they’ve arranged for local garages to do warranty work previously and also paid them directly.

It ends in June so I’m not sure if there trying to fob me off , but as you can see with the booklet I have the 4 Star warranty which states exhaust inlet / valves which I presume that to be the manifold?

It’s worth giving JAS a call to get a rough idea on costs to replace the manifold then ring round a few other specialists for more quotes if the warranty people won’t cover the manifold

Just had a flick through my warranty policy and they class the manifold as part of the exhaust system hence why it’s not covered on my warranty either. How do you know it’s the manifold that’s at fault?

Had a smoke test done and found a small crack on the drivers side.
The warranty is a dealer fund agreement backed by DGS.

Quite annoying they don't cover the manifold :/

What would you consider the exhaust inlet on a engine....

The warranty only covers engine internals - the manifolds are internal components, they're external.

Looks like the sort of warranty that appears to be comprehensive (lots of words so must cover a lot, surely) but the detail is that they cover very little really. Push rods? Distributor drives? Is it aimed at modern cars or classics? 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

So looks like not under my warranty which is a bummer
RRSTDV8 - Presume you meant arent covered as the manifold is not internal

Spoke to my local indy Mark @ LRS Hull previously did a lot of work on my old defender and timing belt on my L494 his qouted £800 for 1 side or around £1000 for both manifolds so I cant complain with that , MOT/SERVICE is due May so will prob get him to do MOT/Service same time.

Thanks for the help and repsonses guys.

PS John JAS work with LRS if ones busy they recommend each other

Ah that’s good to know

Yes, typo on my part.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Just had both sides go on mine. £1400, luckily my warranty (RAMP) did cover it
